I felt like I was coming down with a bit of a cold yesterday, so I took some Nyquil last night. Even though it's only supposed to last 4-6 hours, I still found it hard to get out of bed 8 hours after I took it. I reset my alarm and decided I'd just do my workout this evening.

I decided to go for a run* today. I haven't done a treadmill workout in a few days and I figured I could just Shred after if I felt like it (I didn't). I set the treadmill to the 5K setting and finished in 32:30. I ran at a variety of speeds, doing the first mile at 5.0-6.0 (going up .1 each minute), taking a walking break at 4.0, and then alternating running intervals between 5.6-7.0 with walking at 4.0.

I know I could have pushed myself harder, but I just wasn't in the mood. I think next time I decide to do a treadmill workout, I'm going to do a timed mile for speed. It's been a while since I've seen how fast I could run a mile.

*When I say that I went for a run, I don't necessarily mean that I ran straight through. Sometimes I'll go for a run without taking a walk break, but sometimes I also like to mix in sprint intervals with some walk breaks, to get my body used to running faster.
